Does a sunken ship sitting on the ocean floor have a buoyant force on it?

Yes, a sunken ship on the ocean floor experiences a buoyant force pushing up on it that is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the ship. This buoyant force helps to keep the ship in place on the ocean floor despite its weight.


Do humans have weight in the ocean?

Everything has weight, but when something is submerged in water, it experiences a buoyant force that counteracts weight. If this buoyant force is stronger than an object's weight, the object floats (conversely, if it is weaker, it sinks).To calculate weight, multiply the mass of an object (in kilograms) by g, Earth's gravitational field at its surface (approximately 9.81 m/s/s).To calculate buoyant force, multiply the density of the fluid in which the object is submersed (for water, this is approximately 1000 kg/m^3) by the volume of the object submersed (meaning ONLY the volume of the part that actually displaces fluid) by g.Both results will carry the SI unit of force "Newtons."


What is the bouyant force acting on a 10-ton ship floating in the ocean?

The buoyant force acting on the ship is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the ship. Since the ship is floating, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the ship. In this case, the buoyant force is 10 tons.


Which of the following statements about completely submerged objects resting on the ocean bottom is correct?

None of the statements on the list that accompanies the question is incorrect.


How is an iceberg floating in the ocean affected by water pressure and buoyant force?

An iceberg floating in the ocean is affected by the water pressure and buoyant force on the basis of the Archimedes' principle. This dictates that a volume of a liquid must supported by the pressure of a surrounding liquid.Ê


Which of the objects below will have the largest buoyant force exerted on it when placed in the ocean?

A large cruise ship.


The buoyant force acting on a 10-ton ship floating in the ocean is?

equal to the weight of the water displaced by the ship, which is 10 tons. This buoyant force helps keep the ship afloat by pushing it upwards.


Which has higher buoyant force submarine near the surface or near the ocean floor?

The force is the same as long as the volume submersed is the same


Is there a buoyant force at the bottom of the ocean?

I suspect you mean the gravitational acceleration constant which is about 9.81 m/s^2. This value is actually only valid at Earth's surface (and it also varies from place to place). So in general the answer to your question is no. It might, but it won't be in general. The value is calculated by using Newton's Law of gravitation: F = G m1*m2 / r^2. Where F is the gravitational force, m1 is the mass of the Earth and m2 is the mass of an object. r is the distance from the object to the center of the Earth. Because r does not differ much, G is just a constant (called Newton's Gravitational Constant), and m1 also does not change much, we usually do the following: If we are interested in the acceleration an object experiences due to gravity we can use Newton's Second Law: F = m * a. If we take m as the mass of our object, and a its acceleration due to the gravitational force we must have: G m1 * m / r^2 = m * a If we cross out the m (or m2) on both sides we end up with: a = G m1 / r^2 This a is usually called g. It does not vary much in everyday life, but it does ultimately, so g varies with height.


How does an ocean vessel float but not a nail?

An ocean vessel has a larger surface area compared to its weight, allowing it to displace enough water to generate buoyant force and float. In contrast, a nail has a smaller surface area relative to its weight, causing it to sink in water due to insufficient buoyant force.


What needs to be positive in order to float?

An object requires positive buoyancy in order to float, or the the upward force that a fluid exerts on an object less dense than itself. An example would be a person floating in the ocean, the person's body is less dense than the salt water, hence they float.
